In this specific case, the sequence is materialized anyways since its
assigned to a global variable and then used in a loop. If we add a
subsequence() method on XDMSequenece, that creates the subsequence in
constant time.
The compiler could replace the subsequence function with the
subsequence-of-materialized-sequence function when it notices the
materialization condition.

How would you optimize this?
Materialize the sequence and index it?
Or evaluate multiple expressions on the sequence during one scan?
Or ...?

Hmm, is this test part of a later revision of the test suite?
For me test execution never was a real problem ...
How slow is it?

Its not an infinite loop --
Expressions/Construct/DirectConElem/DirectConElemContent//Constr-cont-document-3.xq
is taking a long time to run. I am pasting the query below.
The query iterates over about 1.1 M integers 70 at a time and calls
subsequence() for the 70 items in the window. This is a quadratic operation in
the engine -- and takes a long time.
Should we optimize this case?

Till,
Does XTest on the test suite terminate? Some query is throwing the engine into
an infinite loop. Do you see this?
